Their book is a tour de force that centers the non-translatable, nonbinary, complex state of being that Latin American and US Latinx gender fluid persons inhabit and illuminate. DiPietro is quite simply one of the most exciting, daring, and uniquely positioned philosophers and interdisciplinary hemispheric thinkers of their generation. This is inspiring, necessary, and visionary philosophy.\u003c\/div\u003e - Laura E.

Following gender-nonconforming Aymara, Kolla, and mixed-race exiles in Buenos Aires and K’iche’, Nahua, and Central American migrants in the San Francisco Bay Area, DiPietro takes stock of a collective, transnational effort to reimagine ideas of personhood and kinship that gender makes unthinkable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The communities DiPietro studies create new kinds of identities, collective and genderless in nature. Their ways of thinking and doing, though radical, are motivated by old wisdom, storytelling, healing, and religion-brujerÍa, curanderismo, Voudoun, and other practices that colonialism, capitalism, and the nation-state have unsuccessfully tried to erase. In equal measures philosophical and ethnographic, \u003ci\u003eSideways Selves\u003c\/i\u003e witnesses and listens as these displaced people-displaced from their homes and from the moral geography of the West-show us what a just, decolonial world could actually be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chapter 1.
